Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect There was no significant difference in sweet corn yield parameters between rototilled and spaded tillage in either year.
- Intervention effect Sweet corn after clover showed a consistent, non-significant trend to yield higher in rototilled than in spaded plots.
- Intervention effect Total N content of corn biomass after clover was greater with rototilling than with spading.
- Intervention effect Soil nitrate and total mineral N were greater early in the season under the spaded treatments in both years.
- Intervention effect Corn after clover utilized available nitrate less efficiently under the spaded treatment than under rototilling.
